      I’d think someone with wealthy parents like Billie would probably be covered by her parents’ insurance. I think this is just Billie being Billie.

        Even someone without wealthy parents; at least in my state adult children can stay on their parents’ plans as dependents until age 26. I haven’t run any numbers recently, but that must be cheaper than getting your own plan.

      It’d still be a time sink for her right now, and that’s part of the problem as much as money would be, during midterms.

        Though the hospital might not really be much more of a time sink than the withdrawal will be by itself.
        It’s not really too odd though. I walked off a lot of injuries I should have gone to the doctor for at that age. And more recently too.:)

        Nothing as potentially serious as this, but then it’s only potentially serious. Ruth got through it with little trouble after all.

        Plus she would have some documentation if her being unable to write mid terms, or does poorly, is caused by said withdrawal symptoms, if she is at the hospital, as opposed to riding it out on her own.

      Nah, Billies an alcoholic but she’s not DT level wet just yet. She will probably only suffer the shakes and the barfs and the oh so fun wild emotional swings. Good times.

      I dunno, I got clean on a mate’s basement telling my parents I was going on a wild weekend to Cuernavaca. This was in Mexico. Some people just gotta get clean on their own. I do hope both of them take the time to attend an AA though…

          The therapy may be the better choice for health reasons.

          AA tends to coat walls and ceilings of their meeting rooms with tar.
          They smoke like prairie brush fires.
          Their morning meetings do breakfast bacon like a frat-house.

      This is a fair point. Though also it’s handy if the cause is something other than withdrawal and the hospital people would be likely to notice that.

                  More a way of saying, “something has grown here that doesn’t belong.”
                  Go with definition 2: “arising or occurring sporadically or in other than the usual location.”

    …She’s redacting information she doesn’t think Sarah would want shared? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH JOYCE!??! 😛

    But seriously, yes, Billie should absolutely be working this out in the hospital.

    • TemporalShrew
      TemporalShrew
      August 23, 2019 at 12:10 am | #

      It’s also theoretically possible that she showed Sarah the print-outs, completely unaware of the reaction they would receive, and Sarah then frantically redacted as much as she possibly could.

      But I’m proud to think that the idea of actual progress is actually the *more* likely scenario.

        Or perhaps a cross between the two? She showed the list to Sarah specifically to prevent a negative reaction. Joyce IS making an attempt to be better at these kinds of things lately.

        “Aging Smarts” equivalency is smacking the elbow just so, cranial interaction with objects ones depth perception assumed was far enough away or whacking shins against not all that movable objects that happen to have moved from where you last remembered they were just enough to interact with ones shins or toes when not protectively shod.

      Item #: SCP-5464 “L.O.N.E.”

      Object Class: Euclid

      Special Containment Procedures: The entity must be contained within its dorm room at Indiana University. It… probably won’t leave, considering its social reclusivity. I, uh, guess that’s all we really need to do.

      Notes*: What kind of ridiculous…? Get this report draft scrubbed immediately. -Dr. Clef

      Notes**: What? It’s 2 in the morning! – Dr. Bright

      Description: Subject is a tall, intelligent dark skinned young woman that attends Indiana University as a law student. It reacts defensively in reaction to most social attention. It has no interests, other than [DATA EXPUNGED], [DATA EXPUNGED], *****************************************************, and [REDACTED].

      When hostile, subject’s methods of attack include sarcasm, scathing wit, a baseball bat and bitter perspective. The one exception to this hostile reaction is SCP-7023 “Triangle Smile”, which the subject seems to react protectively towards.* Further testing not advised unless given direct clearance by O5 due to potential danger.

      *Addendum: See article DOABK1-9 for interaction with SCP-7023 “Triangle Smile”.

    Billie is slurring her words right now, which is something we’ve never seen before. Even back during Roz’s party, when she was inhaling mini-kegs, her speech got musical but she didn’t slur her words. And she is (presumably) sober right now.

    Fortunately, foreshadowing is not a real thing.

      Well, depending on the printer, the “redacted” parts might still be readable through the back pen. I think she’s trying to have it both ways: (seemingly) respect Sarah’s privacy and hand out secret information (to help the others and/or show how close she is now to Sarah).

    Yeah, in retrospect, I should have known that Joyce would have known about Sarah’s birthday party and already have the event planned out in detail! I just wonder what is in all the “Joyce’s eyes only” sections!

    I do think that this must be the first time that Joyce has got a response of “Yes please!” from Ruth!

    Y’know, Billie, not having a history of smart decision-making is not a good reason to not make a smart decision when someone else suggests it!

    Well I suppose doing it the safe way wouldn’t take because by doing it this way she’s going to feel the pain of the symptoms hard and remember them which just might encourage her to not fall back into the habit, assuming she makes it through the storm, the easy would be just that…easy and less painful which wouldn’t teach her the lesson she might feel she needs to learn. (and yes it does sound unhealthy but this is Billie and Ruth, they both know neither of them is “well”)

    Billie would be wise to bring in medical help on this one.

    Billie: Hey I’m quitting big alcoholism cold turkey with no medical advice during finals week.
    Doctor: The hell you say.

    Although it could be something “Well Ruth, I tried cold turkey unwisely and it didn’t work, and it almost killed me. This is your fault, feel bad, and never challenge me again.”

      Times have changed. 30odd years ago, people were expected to show up one week sober for stationary therapy of alcoholism. As first proof they were serious about it.

    I’m not entirely cool with Ruth’s new personality. Just because she’s not depressed doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be a violent vicious bully. That’s what we like about her.

      How many times do I have to tell you people, Ruth is a ripoff of Peridot? The green eyes, the Canada, the lady-lovin’, the ability to control metal, the glasses. It’s a 1:1 overlap. She’s going through her character development, that’s all.

        Ruth is nowhere near as amusing as Peridot.

    Billie is a disaster. But it’s great to see Ruth accepts Joyce’s help. Although it’s don’t looks really very helpful.

    So I guess Billie is going to end up in the hospital or dying. Folks die from alcohol withdrawal. Easily.

      Yeah, they do, but Billie’s probably only been drinking heavily for four or five years, (probably around the time Sal got arrested for the hold-up), not four decades. It’s not that death isn’t possible, just that she’s young and more likely to bounce back.

    I cannot see Sarah’s self-redacted text without thinking about Ada Palmer’s and Cory Doctorow’s censorship project.

    It’s very catholic of her.

      If you meant the religion, it’s a capital C. If you meant the adjective the Catholic Church is named for, you may want to reconsider your comment given it means “diverse”, “all-embracing”, etc., kind of the opposite of censorship.

Still researching old sleaze paperbacks and legitimately wondering if the book designer asked the author or editor what should be the tagline at the top and they mumbled out the above tagline and the book designer just...wrote it down.

Terrible news! The back of box render for the Classified Series Legacy Firefighter seems to imply Shipwreck's house caught on fire.
The back of box render for the GI Joe Classified Series Legacy Collection Firefighter. A firefighter in the foreground poses dramatically with the jaws of life. Another firefighter in the background sprays a wrecked car with foam. A third firefighter even further back escorts a man away from a burning house.
A firefighter escorting a man wrapped in a fire blanket away from a burning house. The man bears a strong resemblance to the GI Joe Classified Shipwreck figyre.

Every webcomic has two stories: the story the artist is telling and the meta story of watching an artist make creative choices over the course of many, many years. You get to watch art evolve and change in real time.
kyssimmee.com's user avatar🐊 @kyssimmee.com ⋅ 2d
not to wax poetic about webcomics but I think one of the best things about webcomics is that reading them forces you to confront the fact that artists evolve and change over time, and that "style" is a necessarily evolving thing

true
We have two major problems in our party: We have a courage problem and we have a competition problem. Because we don't challenge the status quo or people who are in safer blue seats nearly enough, we [end up with certain] candidates who get really comfortable. [highlighted by me] And if there's anything that I've learned from activism and organizing, it's that comfortable people — especially politicians — do not change.
